Alternative exams for admission to M.Tech other than GATE

Three south Indian states Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, and Karnataka have many good and well established private engineering colleges. These colleges have been approved to run M.Tech programs since quite a long time. Till last three years they used to conduct their own exams for M.Tech admissions.

As most of these engineering colleges are under one common university in every state. Recently these universities started conducting a common test and counseling for admission to Master of Engineering degrees (M.Tech/ ME) in private engineering colleges affiliated to them.

If you missed GATE exam or could not qualify for some reasons or have too less scores and want to try an alternative to get into parent institutes directly. You should try these exams.
